these people have created a diy lab reactor you can synthesise medicines with, but I can’t find how to make it anywhere. can anyone find out, or share from their own knowledge?

EDIT: this is a lab reactor for organic chemistry, not a bioreactor with bacteria

    I’d be really really hesitant to DIY something like this. Chemistry tends to involve a lot of things you can accidentally poison yourself with. Without a team holding organic chemistry and pharmacology degrees, as well as the time and money to verify that each step did exactly what was expected, you’re reasonably likely to hit a poisonous pitfall you didn’t know about.

      Right, just go to a testosterone replacement therapy forum and look at the general confusion about very basics like figuring out weight-dependent dosages. I know it’s cool to poo poo experts, but if you can’t calculate a dilution series, you are likely to kill yourself.
